“I did something wrong, didn’t I?” A bit of guilt is now in his gaze.

“On purpose? No... Nooo... Would you like me to do something on purpose?” That has implications,

“Mm... I’m almost finished, I’m almost finished.” Back to innocently eating, eyes wandering around.

“Sounds like something I should have savored even more than I did...” His eyes wander to Yori as he finishes his last bite. “I’ll have to come here every day to make sure I never miss it.”

Sooo pretty... Sigh. “Well, I’ll just have to buy them all now.”

... Dirty thoughts.

“You won’t allow it? You won’t allow it... Huh... Alright. I’ll take one, then... Your regular customers have priority, I understand...”

He watches Yori closely and leans back in his seat, sipping his coffee. “... You should leave the cakes for them and take the evening off with me.”

Cough.

“Ah. It’s good to finally be in an off season. I think I can manage some level of private enjoyment now.”

Do you... need to eat?

That’s... You know what? Come on.

No. I’m not going to mock somebody who looks hungry. I’m going to get you something to eat. Besides, there was this time way back you let me stay over. So I’m repaying the favor.

“You sound so sheepish and shy.” He turns and looks down at Silvius, a tilt of his head signaling curiosity. “Is it the hunger? Or have you grown softer?”

“Hmm. Perhaps. You’re simply...” He looked up in thought, then his gaze lowered to Silv again. “Less prickly. It’s not a bad thing. Come on, then. How does a panini and coffee sound?”
